Senior Engineer - FEA

Position Overview

Senior FEA Engineer – Design Analysis team. You will conduct Finite Element Analysis (FEA) simulations to support the design and development of conventional marine internal combustion engines, drive systems, electrified propulsion and vessels.

• Conduct detailed and comprehensive simulations using FEA software such as Abaqus to reduce stress, maximize fatigue life, and minimize NVH.
• Apply linear and nonlinear finite‑element methods to evaluate stress, stiffness, fatigue, and load paths while supporting dynamic studies involving vibration, crank train behavior, and timing or chain system interactions.
• Develop high‑quality simulation models, define accurate boundary conditions and material behavior, interpret results to drive design improvements, and correlate analysis outcomes with physical test data.
• Work closely with design and development engineers to provide design input and perform trade‑off studies that will improve the product, evaluating design options and recommending the best solutions.
• Collaborate with test engineers to specify testing and instrumentation needed to obtain analysis inputs and validate results, designing test protocols, analyzing test data, and refining models based on empirical findings.
• Document analysis findings and share the results with stakeholders, preparing detailed reports, presenting findings in meetings, and providing actionable recommendations.
• Identify potential areas for new method development, staying up to date with the latest advancements in analysis techniques and implementing innovative methods in practical applications.
• Continuously seek opportunities for improving analysis processes, tools, and methodologies, participating in training sessions, attending industry conferences, and collaborating with peers.
• Coordinate work packages between onsite and offshore teams, managing project timelines and ensuring clear communication between teams.

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field.
• 6+ years of experience performing FEA using Abaqus, Ansys, or similar commercial software.
• Strong fundamental understanding of statics, dynamics, engineering mechanics and materials.
• Exposure to numerical methods and engineering analysis.
• Strong communication and presentation skills to share analysis results and drive discussions.

• MS or PhD in Mechanical Engineering with emphasis in solid mechanics, vibrations, dynamics, finite element method, mechanics of materials, fatigue theory, IC engines, and e‑Machines.
• Experience using High‑Performance Computing (HPC) cluster with Linux OS and Slurm Scheduler.
• Knowledge of test instrumentation (strain gauges, accelerometers, thermocouples, pressure transducers, flow meters, etc.).
• Working knowledge of conventional internal combustion engines and marine propulsion systems.

Anticipated annual salary range: $86,500 – $139,300. This position is eligible for an annual discretionary bonus program and participates in Brunswick’s comprehensive benefits package, including medical, dental, vision, paid vacation, 401(k) (up to 4% match), Health Savings Account with company contribution, wellbeing program, product purchase discounts, and more.
